June marks the 10 anniversary of death of my father Norman Macrae The Economist's entrepreneurial revolution and end poverty sub-editor. We are organising a zoom calendar. I have appended a short excerpt of The Economist's remembrance party.

Favorite events after his death-

the Japan Embassy in Dhaka and Open Society Laureate Sir Fazle Abed organised 2 dinner roundtables on the future of university and future of fintech -transforming education and health by 2025 was the core idea of my father and my 2025 report published in 1984 as timelines to sustainability opposite to orwell's end game

Adam Smith scholars held an event at Glasgow U aiming to celebrate bottom up entrepreneurs 250th year of man and machines started by smith and james watt in 1760 - an online catalogue of papers helped me learn a lot!

Dad had survived war as teen navigating raf planes over modernday myanmar- not to every politician's liking, he was always trying to roll back the traps across the old world continent caused primarily by britannia and japan's colonial era- father saw people like Soros and Gorbachev as huge heroes- one of dad's main retirement projects was the biography of John Von Neumann

1 What actually happened between 1946-1969? In japan s korea and china diaspora superports such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore ; english language rulers got out of way of governing while passing on tech;

amazingly colonial age enemies :japan versus korea south , china (diaspora) redesigned win-win trade routes which went beyond the win-lose trades of the colonial age, and innovated directions beyond big get bigger industrial age (japa was first to help humans leap on to electronic engineering moores law-f doubling microelectronics and engineering infrastructure apps out of which supertrains and superports were mapped); by 1970 japan was the world's 2nd largest economy, and south korea has also focusing on the postindustrial - engineering model from jaoan, while the chinese diaspora were becoming the world's 3rd biggest financial network by linking in win-win trades across hemispheres' strategically located ports ; the english had got out of the poverty trapping way that their colonisation of the empire had mainly caused ;

until and including s korean war usa made a lot of sacrifices as it had from world war 2 on and had enabled marshall plans etc so that the peoples in countries like japan and korea south got a chance to leap ahead with re-engineering and hi-tech as had also been facilitated in w germany

all of these countries gained hugely as there peoples effectively spent nothing on international peacekeeping other than design win-win trades whereas countries like usa spent over 20% of their citizens money; this could always need to be anticipated as a temporary exchange; wherever it wasnt troubles have been brewing; it is necessary for today's worldwide youth to understand that from 1946 the most powerful enemy of human sustainability was stalin; wherever small nations got caught up in his cultural paradigm whole regions never got the chance to go peacefully post colonial post industrial 1 that this cluster of eastern hemisphere did

2 1970-1996 pre-digital what got solved primarily in bangladesh and china as the whole of the east also linkedin- where tech was reaching post ind2

The good news from the east's most remarkable developments in the quarter following the end of world war 2 was that the developments were organic, designed by the peoples of those economies. Oddly the bretton wood's institutions - world bank, un, IMF did not learn this lesson. Instead they made up theories on how to pass aid from their world headquarters through governments. What's miraculous is how Bangladesh and China avoided getting trapped in top-down aid systems, and took innovation of developing nations to arguably the two greatest examples ever seen.

Bangladesh is particularly remarkable because a couple of the country's most qualified people were prepared to go and live and learn in the middle of the most desperate poverty challenges. Sir Fazle did this in 1972 not just in the middle of poor villages but in an area where million people had been killed and infrastructure destroyed by an intense local cyclone. He started bottom-up disaster relief and development - finding out who in the community knew how to repair what, getting them finds not just to do their jobs but peer to peer train up local capacity. BRAC continued to build from the bottom up jigsaw pieces of 1 resilience 2 education 3 health service 4 food security 5 financing the smallest village enterprise round startups by village mothers. It designed microfranchises open sourced amongst village mothers so they maximised efficiency and effectiveness and had a market that brac had designed. In other word brac changed charity to positive income generating models that could be replicated across villages. In parallel, where serving children or others that could not be expected to generate their own income, it guaranteed "conditional cash transfer" ie donations would be assigned directly to recipients and for a known activity. Nit living with the poorest they could know who was who. Indeed whilst well meaning their distribution of aid often failed to transfer skills to the community and even distorted the market making people endlessly dependent on charity. All this happened in par due to serendipity; the new nation of bangladesh started up so poor that the government taxation barely raised funds to serve those in the cities. It had no reach to the villagers without electricity or communications- and for at least the first 15 years of bangladesh's development was happy to leave village development to the bottom up ngos (brac ) one rural bank created by special national ordinance grameen in 1983.

China also developed agrarian keynesianism and cultural revolution in public service but in ways that are unique to that country. However everything that China uniquely knows about development today is worth every developing nation benchmarking as digital revolutions to linking in youth networks to be the sustainability generation have so much in common as transformative innovations than

Top of my bucket list of: you haven’t lived unless you have experienced … is Harrison Owen’ Open Space ( Welcome to Open Space and ). It involves making real-time, real-place most of any number of brains between 3 and 5000! Every HO open space brings out joyful human interactions even though each one is convened around an urgent communal innovation challenge – sometimes a systemic conflict barrier that is literally causing war (see HO Practice of Peace). One of the thousands of alumni of HO, since he invented open space in 1984, calls OS culture pure Confucius.

Training and resources for High Performing Systems, Peacemaking, Open Space Technology in organizations from Har...

If you reflect on education's classic school classroom, it is pure closed space. The rules of facilitating open space are very simple though the presence needed to believe you can open up hundreds of peoples good spirits from the first moment that they relax in a circular meeting space is not dissimilar from the skills that any great performing artist needs. That said if you give children an early start to open spacing a round-table discussion, they take naturally to co-creativity. The fact that as late as 2017, less than 1% of teachers and students in western education systems are aware of open space is both a reason for realizing how different 21st C education could be and a source of frustration to anyone who seeks to believe that every child is born with as a unique human resource of co-creation.

Let it be that : community is the solution to every problem. Then as communications technology's exponential progress since 1946 now makes us people thousands of times more connected locally to globally, open space may be considered a gateway to all the types of emotional intelligence that require openness to blossom. It could be that OS is one of the transcultural keys to the door needed across every Belt Road world trade map and sustainability goal's just-in-time achievement
